1. Aircar. The mankind has been long engaged in the development of new sources of fuel. Electric vehicles are gaining popularity and their cost is a deterrent factor. Pneumatic engines can be an alternative. They work due to the compressed air. Pneumatic engine can reach 70 kilometers per hour. “Sitroen” and Tata Motors work on the development of such engines.
2. Hoverboard. The movie “Back to the Future” catches the imagination of children. Flying boards appeared first in this movie and the vehicle engineers of “Lexus” have realized the dream and created a prototype of a hoverboard. Liquid nitrogen is used for cooling. Among the disadvantages is that now it is possible to move only on a special metal platform.
3. Personal helicopter. For several years, the development of MyCopter project have been continuing. This is a simple and maneuverable helicopter, that may soon become available to the public. It is likely that in the future personal helicopters will replace cars.
4. Unmanned car. Of course, fans of cars may not want leave driving, but you shouldn’t underestimate the number of issues that will be decided by using the car without a driver. Soon drunk and inexperienced drivers will no longer cause problems and people with disabilities will be able to move without problems.
5. Aircraft, operated by thought. If you don’t want to be a passive passenger of the aircraft, you’ll like the mental control of the vehicle. EU authorities decided to finance Aeroproject called BrainFlight. Its essence is that the pilot of the aircraft will be able to mentally give commands to the vehicle and turn it to the left or right.
6. Hoverbike. The idea to create a hoverbike came to us from the science fiction. Such transport may become a reality very soon. Aerofex Company plans to conduct large-scale flight tests of the vehicle before the end of the year. It is likely that in 2017 it could appear on sale.
7. The magnetic levitation train. It comes in motion due to the action of the electromagnetic field. This is a train without wheels, that can reach up to 603 kilometers per hour.
8. Superfast submarine. Submarines are pretty slow compared to other means of transport. The fastest boat for a long time has been a boat K-222, that could reach 80 kilometers per hour. But in the future, if the project is realized, the submarine could cross the Pacific in 1,5 hours. The project involves the use of special technology, similar to that used on some torpedoes, manufactured in Russia. Scientists say that the boat could reach up to 5800 kilometers per hour.
9. Reconnaissance aircraft SR-72. It’s an American plane that has been used during the last 30 years. It accelerated to 3.5 thousand kilometers per hour. But the SR-72 of new generation will be able to accelerate up to 6000 kilometers per hour. With this speed it will be unattainable for the air defense.
10. Batmobile. In fact, it has no relation to Batman. It moves with the help of a motor and accelerates only up to 160 kilometers per hour. But the Batmobile has 7-meter wings and a jet engine, that allow it to fly at the speed up to 885 kilometers per hour.
